How to keep my 'User-Agent headers' always up to date in my python codes?

Question

In my research I find several ways to create a fake User-Agent and also hide my User-Agent when making requests.

But what I'm actually looking for is how do I keep my User-Agent always up to date without needing to get the value manually.

Manually way is search on Google for example:

Is there a correct method for this?

For example, currently the User-Agent I use to make requests is this:

import requests
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36"
    }

url = f'https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com'
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()

But the version of Chrome that is appearing is already a much older version of the one I currently use. I'd like to know if there's a way to keep this up to date without having to manually modify it every time!

Answer 1

you can use fake user agent:

https://github.com/hellysmile/fake-useragent

it has a lot of options and keep user agent updated.

from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent()

You can get your browsers user agent in javascript on the console with navigator.userAgent . How can you automatically have this value stored into your python scripts?? I'm not really aware of a way todo that.
